put a breakpoint at ApplyDispatchBehavior method while wcf service hosted in iis7

Question

My wcf service is being hosted in iis7. Is there a way I could put break point at ApplyDispatchBehavior method and make sure that its being called at run time by hitting that breakpoint?? My overall problem is that method AfterReceiveRequest is not being hit in the CultureMessageInspector class. Details of my code have been posted under questions in the following links. Please help me.. thanks

Presuming that the PDB files are present in your bin directory you can simply attach a debugger to the IIS7 process and debug as normal.

Make sure that the web.config has debug="true" set.
